    • 🧂 1 ½ cups white sugar, divided
    • 1 cup roasted pistachio nut meats
    • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¾ cup cake flour
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 🧂 ¾ teaspoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 ¾ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 🥚 4 large eggs
    • 🥛 ⅔ cup milk, at room temperature
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

Blend 1/2 cup sugar and pistachios in a blender until finely ground.

3

Sift all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Set aside.

Beat the remaining 1 cup sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is mixed thoroughly before adding the next.

5

Combine milk and vanilla extract in a small bowl.

6

Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk mixture into the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in ground pistachios.

7

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes.

Cool in the muffin cups for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
